This is so ridiculously petty if true.
I don't understand what's preventing these big media and journalism outlets from embracing the #fediverse. you have the resources to fork Mastodon and add QTs and better search or whatever you want. isn't independence a core requirement to do good work?

Well part of it is that a lot of #journalism may not have those resources after all.
With budgets being squeezed and internal debate over future directions of the organizations, there might not be resources–money and attention–available for them to do the work to embrace #fediverse.
Forking #Mastodon for #QTs
and such, adding it to institutional workflows isn’t a trivial thing as you make it out to be!
